This phaser can get nice FAT bass tones on 2 of the 4 choices of phasing (the bigger circles). The other 2 do a nice job of phasing, but with less volume and girth. The far left phaser is the best, volume stays the same or there may be the slightest increase...hard to tell exactly. However, the sound stays nice and FAT. Your bass continues to sound like an effected bass. Very sweet and rich. The speed knob can give varying degrees of warble. Cleaner than a flanger and more sparkling than a chorus pedal. Like every MXR pedal I have owned, this one is built like a tank and it adds very little or no extra noise when engaged. The bomb.

It's very versatile and sounds good clean. I wouldn't say the tone is sucked out, but my levels dropped if I used od/dist after the unit. I tried a reissue to see if they've improved it, but the problem seems to be the same. Maybe they've improved it by now since it was a couple of years ago I tried a reissue. When I use it, I put a distortion pedal in front of it and it sounds good. Mostly now though I use a Phase 90 I bought used at a local shop.

MXR makes the best analog effects in my opninion. This pedal is no exception. A lot of people say they prefer the Phase 90 but I haven't tried it. I bought this because it has 4 different intensity levlels compared to the 90's 1. So I figured it would be more versatile. And I was right. I love this pedal to death. From slow, creamy wooshing, to fast rotary speaker type phase, this thing does it all. It is my favorite effect on my board and definitely the most quality sounding pedal I own. That and my MXR Carbon Copy. Thank you, MXR! Also, it's made in the USA. Can't beat the price.

I've used this pedal with my Stock MIM strat, and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. It was a phaser to say the least. I liked the pedal. It just sucked a lot of the bass out of the tone, when on the neck pickup. I think I'll stick with the regular Phase 90 though.I just don't need all these different settings!None the less, another great pedal from MXR.

I had an original script logo which I bought for dirt cheap. I've always wanted an MXR phase pedal, but was strapped for cash at the time. I was disappointed because when the pedal was engaged, it soaked up the volume from the guitar. Maybe it was a flaw in the circuit design? Who knows? I tried a reissue and the same thing. If you put a distortion or overdrive before it in your signal chain, then don't worry. With a clean sound and enough volume, you can hear the subtle differences in the selections. I have a used reissue Phase 90 I bought cheap too and think it's more appropriate for my needs. As with any MXR pedal I've come across, it's built like a tank.
